Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] file encoding problems
Try using an editor and configuration with known good UTF8 behavior. Something like vi or emacs, most likely. jEdit seems to have known issues w/ UTF8 detection: http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2965 You will also have to check your terminal environment to make sure the UTF8 stuff gets across and is preserved correctly. The koha wiki "encoding scratchpad" has a lot of good things to check. --joe 2009/12/3 Chadwick, John, DCA <john.chadwick@state.nm.us>
I am trying to edit the sort-string-utf.chr file to map characters with diacritics (acute and grave accents) to letters without accents.
The problem I am running into is that I am trying to open up the files in a program called jEdit. The editor tells me that the French version is in cp1250.
The English version is utf-8 encoding and the diacritics are showing up in the file with all sorts of extra characters and square boxes.
Any suggestions at this point would be appreciated.

There's also an easy command line utility for converting into UTF8. Here's an example: * * *iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 iso.txt > utf.txt* * * * * 2009/12/4 Joe Atzberger <ohiocore@gmail.com>
